Dyfed Powys Police say they've seized over 100 grams of cocaine, thousands of Valium and ecstasy tablets and more than £10,000 in cash in Carmarthenshire over the past week.

It follows raids as part of Operation Coupland which were carried out at houses in Ammanford and Llanelli.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of drug possession with intent to supply while a woman was also arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

T/Chief Inspector Rhys Jones said: “We’ve seen some very good results over the past week, and thanks to our officers’ work we’ve taken a huge amount of drugs out of the supply chain.

“These were destined to be dealt in our communities, causing untold amount of harm. Our work will continue to investigate those we believe were supplying these drugs.

“As always, we ask anyone with information about the use or supply of illegal substances to contact us so we can investigate.”
